^^^^^^^45 miles per gallon ? Price of gas is already going back up Went up .30 per gallon in the last three days.

I think this one gets more like 30. was getting 40’s with the metro. I’ve been driving the Centurion since gas was down.

New cars are boring, I wouldn’t call what I drive boring John. to each their own though. I’m sure if I worked at KCW and lived blocks from the shop I’d be driving an aircooled.

Corey… why is such a talented man driving such a boring car.. life is too short…

Life is too short, that’s why I’m planning to rid myself from my horrible daily commute. Lack of population control around here keeps me from wanting to drive anything too nice. too many assholes in a hurry.

TSP ain’t doing too great, lost quite a bit. might take it out when I leave and put it in my own Roth IRA or something.

Picked up this ’91 Geo Storm GSi to daily to work. The metro needs some rings, blows out a quart a week. lol

Yes still working for the government.  About this time next year will mark my 10 year mark. That’s the end goal, reach 10 and remain somewhat sane.

Only progress on Binz is that I got my stub axles turned down 15mm so I can run my center caps.

Busy rebuilding every landing, stair case and wheel chair ramp attached to my house with new pressure treated lumber and Trex composite. I don’t expect to ever have to re do these again.

Got the S10 done a few weeks ago. Started on a K5 project.

Doing some lower nose, dogleg, and front floor work on this double. awaiting some AH Schofield a-pillars.

Got the new engine and trans in my beetle only to spin the splines out of one of my rotor hubs.

Is it possible to get old shirt designs printed up? Maybe a throwback run of stuff?

I asked the same question to Corporate this morning… She thought maybe we do a poll to choose a design we can do more than just a few of???

Speaking of polls, how about another build-off? I need some more build-off t-shirts. 😎

Maybe should have had one when the whole quarantine bullshit started.

Always side work. I never quit.

It won’t be “side work” forever. Just gotta do my time.

Yeah my back was feeling better.

I took the wheels off and using some 4×4’s and 2×4’s I was able to slide it from the cart to the truck frame. I need a two post lift.

I’ll be doing a C5 blazer later this year.
